Hi,
I have just bought a new hard drive and now my old hard drive (which is now
primary slave) wont format and every time time I try I get this message
"Windows can not format this drive. Quit any disk utilities or other
programs thar are using this drive, and make sure that no window is
displaying the contents of the drive. Then try formatting again", well I have
made sure the drive is not being used, or that the contents are not being
displayed and I still get that message, I need to format this drive in order
to sell it and I always get this message.
Is there any way I can format it with out having to install a seperate
program or go to DOS?
Thank you
